[AF Mode]: Select how fast the autofocus will operate.

• With [ Instant AF] the autofocus adjusts quickly to a new subject.

This is convenient for example when changing the focus from a near

subject to a far subject in the background, or when recording fast-mov-

ing subjects.

• When the optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is attached to the

camcorder, it may partially obstruct the Instant AF sensor. Set the AF

mode to [ Normal AF].

[Focus Priority]: When the focus priority is activated, the camcorder

records a photo only after the focus has been adjusted automatically. You

can also select which AF frames to use.

[ AiAF Frames]: One or more AF frames out of the nine frames avail-

able are automatically selected and the focus is fixed on them.

[ Center Frame]: A single focusing frame appears in the center of the

screen and the focus is automatically fixed on it.

[ Off]: No AF frame will appear and the photo will be recorded immedi-

ately after you press .

• When the recording mode is set to [ Fireworks], focus priority is auto-

matically set to [ Off].

• When focus priority is activated, if face detection ( 68) is also acti-

vated, the camcorder will focus on the face of the main subject (white

face-detection frame) when one is detected.

[Image Stabilizer]: The image stabilizer compensates for camcorder

shake even at full telephoto.

• The image stabilizer is designed to compensate for a normal degree of

camcorder shake.

• We recommend setting the image stabilizer to [ Off] when using a

tripod.

[Auto Slow Shutter]: The camcorder automatically uses slow shutter

speeds to obtain brighter recordings in places with insufficient lighting.

• Minimum shutter speed used: 1/25; 1/12 when the frame rate is set to

[ PF25].

• The auto slow shutter can only be activated when the recording pro-

gram is set to [ Programmed AE], but the setting will not change even

if you set the camcorder to mode.

• If a trailing afterimage appears, set the slow shutter to [ Off].

• If (camcorder shake warning) appears, we recommend stabilizing

the camcorder, for example, by mounting it on a tripod.
